I don't understand the logic of saying an oversized Tee and baggy jeans are bad for the "game" (it isn't, it doesn't affect how players actually play) while we're all OK with flopping and the non-stop bytching on the court.
I still dont understand the logic of a majority black sport having some white guy who lost like 5 finals as the leagues logo in 2015 :sas2:

Haha I'm a "If it ain't broken don't fix it" kind of guy but yeah I guess this could at least be a subject of discussion.

Have other leagues ever changed their logo? I have no idea :yeshrug:

It wasn't bad for the "game", but to people with last names such as "Stern" and similar, it was very bad for the "game." Gotta keep those white season ticket holders, television execs, and advertisers happy. For the same reasons Floyd Mayweather is hated by certain segments of the American populace, David Stern sought to "clean up" the NBA's image. It'd be impossible for them to completely go:mjpls: considering the makeup of the league, but you can't let the audience think the field-hands are without a master.

Yeah I know that breh, I was just pointing that it is was (is) the classic "deflection" tactic, and I believe one of the moments where the league went from being more about the game and letter the players actually play to being more about corporate-friendly clean-cut employees.

Yeah I hear you, it would make 100 % sense but to be practical I doubt it could happen, since MJ is already the logo of...Jordan Brand, so it's not that easy. I'm sure SOMEONE has though about it but it might be more complicated than we think to find someone else, or else maybe go with a logo that isn't someone. But TBH, the NBA logo is kind of fly as it is.
